I’m a grandmother! My husband (Dick) and I have four children and five grandchildren. I was born and raised in Michigan. Born in Holland, MI, I’ve been a lifelong resident of Michigan. I’m an advocate for children. I’ve been involved with education issues for 28 years. I’ve been on the front lines fighting to make education better for all children. I’m an activist. I’m a total outsider to elective office and government, but I’m no stranger to the political process.
"Activist! Advocate! Fighter! Involved! Political process!"
All I want to hear is "Trump hired me to put this department out of business.
thanks for saving me the trouble of making the point!
Wow...is that all you got from the news snippet?
Her entire background is vouchers, home school protection ,to dismantle the National Department of Education and rid us of Common Core.....
Yet you still gripe.....go figure....
Without Trump we'd have a corrupt Clinton dynasty and you'd be watching that sickly hag screeching about white privilege and how mean men are. You'd be doing the daffy duck. Trumps appointing an outsider and they're going to dump common core. Trump can't do everything you want before he even gets into office.
You ought to find an issue.
FWIW-

She is enemy #1 of the NEA, that alone makes her an excellent choice.
Ah, let’s see what she does.
DeVos throws out "local control," but avoids PARENTAL control.
Betsy Devoss, I and my wife are "activists" as well, with 34 years of home schooling and teaching families in four countries (one a communist country) how to stay away from government and home school their children. Often having to instruct parents, in places where there are no libraries(!), to research and design their families' own curriculum. We've seen, not only successful education, but successful FAMILIES AND HOMES, AND DADDIES LOVING MOM AND CHILDREN.
GET GOVERNMENT OUT of the education business (and unions, too), and bring PARENTS back in.
“BARF!! Sounds like any Shrillary speech. “
Agree. We can read her bio ourselves.
“All I want to hear is “Trump hired me to put this department out of business.”
I’d like to hear that too, but I would settle for “we will not inject the federal government into private schooling and homeschooling”. Also, I’d love her to announce her personal support for an exodus from government schooling, which is a lost cause and has been for decades.
He’s not sworn in yet, and no cabinet positions have been confirmed.
Let’s keep the opposition guessing - okay?
